Part of 1. Questions to the First Minister – in the Senedd at 1:58 pm on 27 September 2022.
It is really important that we continue to work together. I think it's very unfortunate that the Prime Minister hasn't picked up the phone to the First Minister. She's really got nothing to be afraid of, he's a very straightforward person to deal with. But, I think you make a really important point around COVID not going away. The figures that I've got are that an average of 10 patients are being admitted to hospital every day with COVID; seven ICU beds are occupied by patients with COVID every day; and, as you mentioned, nearly 1,000 staff are currently off with COVID. So, it's a good time to remind people that if they're called for their next COVID vaccination, please go along and do it. It's the best thing you can do to protect yourself and your family.
